    Not at all, Viewmounts fine. Used to be the odd bit of trouble on the tennis courts but I haven't noticed anything problematic for a good year or two now.

    Just as ya said your missus forgot to lock her door.
    Last year sometime someone tried to break into me next door neighbours two cars, the young fella had two boy racer cars at the time.
    One of them was on the road outside his house, they ripped the door open from the top and done whatever with the wires and obviously couldnt get it started, Neighbour took the spark plugs outta it cos he wasnt using it.
    They tried to rob his car that he was using, went into the driveway and done same to that car ie, pulled it open from top of the door, and took some change he had in the centre console, dont know why they didnt try to hot wire it, must have heard someone coming or something. Anyways trurns outt he one in the driveway wasnt even locked, the fecking plonkers never checked the doors on it ha ha.
    Under the change they took form centre console was €70 in notes, still left there. Some people just dont have a clue.

    I had the spare wheel stolen from under my Van in Cherrymount accross from SuperQuinn there, i mean it was a tough enough job to get under and take the wheel off as it was well secured on!

    you think a spare wheel is bad,my old car was broken into in Earlscourt bout 1 1/2 yrs ago and all they took were my seat covers and floor mats,didnt even try to hot wire it,well there was no evidence anyway!worst thing was to get into the car they shoved something in the top of the door and bent it away from the car completly,cost of a new door was alot more than a couple of mats and seat covers!:mad:

    The presence of Gards on the Dunmore Road is poor. Large groups of youths causing mayhem, but I suppose middle class kids don't cause problems, hence why the garda don't respond.

    Hi, I'm just wondering did you mention this to the Earls Court Residents Committee? We normally take this kind of stuff on board and try to notify residents as soon as we can.

    there was a number of break-ins in the apartments across from ardkeen too . 4 or 5 where broken into the feckers pulled the place apart. they got a laptop and a ipod . not sure if its the same crowd thats in viewmount but everyone should keep an eye out .
